Metrics

Foglight for Infrastructure agents collect metrics and store them in the Foglight topology model as topology objects:

•	AIX metrics

•	HP-UX metrics

•	Linux metrics

•	Solaris metrics

•	Windows metrics

AIX metrics

The following topology objects are collected by the UnixAgent when monitoring AIX® systems:

•	AIXHostDetails topology object

•	AIXMemoryDetails topology object

•	AIXPhysicalCPUUsage topology object

•	AIXUsedMemoryDetails topology object

•	CPUCounts topology object

•	Host topology object

•	HostCPUs topology object

•	HostNetwork topology object

•	HostProcess topology object

•	HostProcessInstance topology object

•	HostTopProcessEntry topology object

•	LPARNetworkInterfaceDetails topology object

NOTE: Some of these metrics can only be collected if the native agent has been deployed to the monitored host.

The following topology objects may be collected by the UnixAgent when monitoring AIX® systems, when users set the property “Collect Hypervisor metrics” for VIOS host monitoring:

•	PowerVMVIOS topology object

•	PowerVMVIOSCPUs topology object

•	PowerVMVIOSMemory topology object

•	PowerVMVIOSNetwork topology object

•	PowerVMVIOSStorage topology object
